​Overview:

A best practice masterclass on conducting inquiries and investigations in higher education.

Following on from a successful workshop on 20 July with LimeCulture which looked at the implementation of a case management process from 'end-to-end' drawing on the experience of Keele University, this masterclass focuses on managing inquiries and investigations, which is a critical part of case management and will support institutions in 'how to do it'.
